This Swiss cheese is crafted in the canton of Appenzeller, near the Austrian border. After it ages for approximately three months, Appenzeller achieves its ideal form: pressed, cooked-curd, brushed-rind cheese with occasional pea-sized holes. It has a pleasantly smooth texture, but this cheese's true allure is its fruity tang. In fact, Appenzeller pairs extremely well with fresh fruit; it melts nicely also.

Introduced to this cheese decades ago in Switzerland, I still find its flavor to be nicely mild but supremely tasty. Nutty, yet somewhat reminiscent of Gruyere, Appezeller remains one of my very favorite gourmet luxuries. It is so special that one should dispense with crackers and any accompaniments; simply enjoy it alone.

Nothing but GREAT

First had this over 30 years ago and found it here and it is still great taste as it did back than. It's just delicious.

Best cheese around

Had this a very long time ago and could never find again till now. This cheese is just the same taste as it did 30 some years ago. Outstanding cheese. It is the very best..

I wanted to purchase 2 lbs, but they said that they only had 1/2 lb pieces. These four pieces were cut in very oddly shaped triangles that they were virtually unsuitable to slice for company. It was a rather disappointing surprise.

Appenzeller-the best cheese in the world!!!!!

Thank you for the great service. The Cheese arrived in perfect condition. And it taste as good as I remember when I tasted it in their showroom in Stein, Switzerland. You can be sure I will order again real soon.

So good, anytime.

We had this on our evening cheese plate last night. I had stashed away a couple of slices of it as not to be eaten then. I am eating it for breakfast this morning. The flavor is rather stong on the palat, but that is what makes it so delightful. In my opinion, it doesn't even need a cracker. Especially if eaten for breakfast.

Appenzeller

Another wonderful find at your store. For us a Fondue is not the best without some portion of the Appenzeler cheese.
I liked the little cooler I ordered.

Appenzeller - Pound Cut

The cheese arrived one day later than we were told it would be to Alaska but the other orders were on time. The cheese is delicious!
